There are only three Greyfriars Towers left in Britain and this is the best preserved, probably because it served as a landmark for traders and sailors after the dissolution of the monastery.

The most impressive remaining piece of King’s Lynns ancient fortifications, which you still pass through when entering the town from the south.

Enjoy picturesque coastal views and scenes of bobbing boats as you make your way along Harbour Way near Brancaster Straithe. The footpath is flat and well-maintained and ideal for jogging.

There are gorgeous views of Brancaster up here on Barrow Common. Its height giving an ideal place for a radar station to be erected in the Second World War. Look out for its remains and that of a mound and round barrow, an ancient burial site.
